The top themagiiiii'M may bep'r'dviaea The operation of the gun is as follows. After the gun has been duly assembled, and the darts 25 inserted into the magazine recess 24, the operator grasps the grip portion 13 in one hand, and with the other grasps the block 28, and slides the same rearwardly towards the butt 11, and in so doing draws the bow string 15 rearwardly and below the lowermost dart 25. As soon as the guide pin 29' of theblock 28 engages the under side of the detent 19 it will raise the same slightly and cause it'toassume about the position illustrated at Fig. 1. As the rearward movement of the block 28 is continued it will force the intermediate portion of the bow string 15, extending through the slot 23, rearward, and cause the same to pass over the nose of the detent 1 9, and then engage with the vertical rear edge thereof, The block 28 is then moved forward again to its initial position, as shown in full lines at Figz-l,

thus leaving the detent 19 held to its raised position by the tensionof the bowstrin g, and the' trigger 20' cocked lf ofr firing. As soon as the trigger" 20 is pulled theint'erme'diate portion'of the bow string'will bereleased of'its engagement therewith and permitted to engage the rear end the next dart in the magazine recess immediately,

above the one fired will take its place ready to be engaged by the bow string 15 after .the same has been again put under tensionby the retracting" of "the block 28.
